Hello 2009!!

Hey Dear Readers,

I am officially back from vacation. I'm looking to get a good jump on the year. Hopefully 2009 will result in me losing 50 pounds, becoming a better preacher, and getting more organized. Just a few of the things I want to do in the coming year. So, let's enjoy the time together.

Hopefully, you enjoyed your stopovers at Habakkuk's Complaint in 2008. I'd like to say this blog will be bigger and better in '09, but I'm not sure how that would happen. Anyway, hope this year is good for you, as I expect it to be for me.

The New Home (For real this time!)

OK, dear readers. I think I'm ready to start blogging regularly again. There's all sorts of reasons for my hiatus. I won't go into any of them now. Suffice it to say, it was a combination of laziness, paranoia, and lack of anything to say.

Regular and faithful readers will know that my blogs generally (though not always) range from the inane to the inocuous. Let me assure that this will still be the case!

Feel free to comment on anything you read here.

The name of the blog comes from the Bible. I was reading the minor prophet Habakkuk one day a couple years ago. "Habakkuk's Complaint" was one of the heading in the text. So, I took it from there.

Just a few statements to clarify about this blog:

1. I make no claim of objectivity. I am honest about my biases and will lay them on the table for all to see.

2. Hope you like lists. Because there's going to be a bunch of them.

3. While I am a Lutheran, this is not a "Lutheran Blog." Seeing as how there's more to life than just theology, I talk about more than just theology.

4. I reserve the right to make the rules up as I go along.

That's all I can think of right now. Enjoy!
